CORONA VIRUS
The times when the world slept unknown
A pandemic hit the globe out of the blue
The weak, the meek
The strong, and so on
All imprisoned by this virus
Society experienced life in multi forms
And what have you, the men in uniforms
The season of the virus had diverse views
The pilot felt the failing of the jet engines
Or better still a sinking of the titanic
Hopelessness all over the waters
Reservations canceled, transports halted.
To the poet,
the era of COVID was like a feigned comedy
To the Journalist,
signing integrity to career threatening bulletin
To the musician,
a messy performance with voice flight
To the politician,
an all-time disappointed elections
To the shepherd,
a greener pastures suddenly goes grey
With the preacher,
like a sermon taken for a fiction
To the student,
a trail in a well prepared quiz
And the teacher,
an expiry of a precious learning
And see, craftsmanship
Not to mention nurses, and frontline-rs
Mask up, sanitize, sanitize they say
Wash down, distance, distance, to stay
Nevertheless to the artist,
like a broken stencil
And the actor,
like an erratic repetitions
To the psychologist,
finding out humans have no brain
then unthinkable
who is to blame?
The pandemic made all humanity culpable
As if we were all reprehensible
To the driver,
like the failing of the brakes
And the great men of gem,
a golden opportunity slipping through
To the farmer,
a sudden invasion of a destructive locust
To the writer,
an emotional instability for want
Global health systems experienced severe fatigue
Many were silenced not even a communiqué
If nothing, forget me not, FELLOW GHANAIANS
COVID-19, was a picture of the world at a stand still
